| Abstract | Exploitation of energy sources for generating electricity
should be studies and performed carefully. In this paper, a
tec hni c to reduce the initial cost of electricity generation and
the suitable si z e of nuclear power plant are studies.
The revenue requirement is applied in the study by taking
into account of some economic assumtions. The result obtained
will be a trend for planning the nuclear energy for electricity
generating for Thailand in the future.
From the study, By determining the cost of power plant at
1 200 MW. It can be found that, the costs of nuclear power plant
i s cheaper about 30 % than the coal-fired plant. The plant should
be separated into small size, for instance , 4x300 MW, to get more reliability. |
